Two Creations I Just Love!

[lbryant2004-create]

Hi all, I wanted to show two creations I made with ACE-Step-1.5. The first is called Good Times.mp3. This one in particular was arranged by me by hand using the XL model for vocals and background music composition, while the drummer was made with a lora trained on drumming from Logic Pro using the 2B Turbo model. The 2B model seems to be the only ones I can train successfully on MacOS, while the 4B model with LoRA or LoKR using default parameters return "NAN" or "nonfinite gradients". Oh well, here is the first track:

This next one was also arranged by me but everything was done with the XL turbo model. I actually got this idea from the ACE-Step-1.5 LLM hallucinated lyrics and basically picked out the lyrics I liked from its generations. Apparently, it wanted to party! So here you go! https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/mdpm1w5x5fryagg9sf9lh/Hands-In-The-Air.mp3?rlkey=yfg4wu5biuz4glllqw8zkybdk&dl=0
I hope you enjoy these. Usually, I don't take what what ACE-Step delivers as the finished product, I have to have my personal touch before sharing, whether that's training a LoRA or editing lyrics, or even adding effects. You all take care and keep creating!

BTW, figured out my LoRA issue with XL on MacOS, I had to install Python 3.11 in conda, then install both requirements.txt and requirements-sidestep.txt, then using sidestep set device to mps with fp32 precision, and no dataworkers and the training is going! Yay!
